Hear Ye Hear Ye: Bush proclaims "National Character Counts Week"

[Generic Other]

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 21 through October 27, 2001, as National Character Counts Week. I call upon the people of the United States to commemorate this week with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.

To commemorate this auspicious occasion, I wrote Bush a song:

National Character Counts Week(apologies to Tom Lehrer.
The words might fit the tune of "National Brotherhood Week." Or not...)

Oh, the GOP hate the Democrats
Think they're better than the left
It is an old established rule
They learned it back in business school

But during National Character Counts Week
National Character Counts Week
Ken Lay and Mother Theresa
Are dancing cheek to cheek
Gee but it's fun to criticize
Immoral people you despise
Especially when you always do what's right

Oh, the poor folks have no character
And the rich folks have too much
All of my folks look down on your folks
Your morals are a joke

But during National Character Counts Week
National Character Counts Week
Red states can chastise blue states
because it's very chic
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you can't stand
Because you know he's not as good as you

Rightwingers hold your heads up high
You'll only kill the ones who die
The right-to-life for those who think like you
And everybody else can kiss your ass

But during National Character Counts Week
National Character Counts Week
National Everyone-Look-Down
On-Someone-Lower-Than-You Week
Remind the people who
Are inferior to you
It's only for a week, so have no fear
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!
